Get Involved With the School
Attend school council meetings. Join the school’s PTA. If you work and these school-oriented meetings are scheduled during the day, ask if meetings can occasionally be held at night. Your voice counts—sometimes, it's the only voice that will advocate for your child. When parents unite, they can more readily affect changes in schools
Take Part in School Events
Don’t miss school events such as
talent shows, science fair nights and seasonal potlucks. Even if your
child isn’t playing on the team, why not attend a school sporting event?
You’ll help foster an appreciation of school life. Not only will you be
helping your child be successful in school, but you'll also be making
memories with him along the way.
Bring Learning Home
There are always learning moments
to be made away from the classroom. Bake a cake and teach the basics of
measurement. Have your own spelling bee night. Take a weekend trip to
an aquarium or museum. Watch an educational, family-friendly movie.
Bringing learning into the home is a great way to foster future success.
